The grand jury indicted Castro with about one count of kidnapping and rape for each victim, for each month, they were reportedly held captive.

The two aggravated murder charges relate to a single incident involving an unborn child.

The initial police report indicates that Knight said Castro beat her when she became pregnant to force miscarriages.

Castro's attorneys, Craig Weintraub and Jaye Schlachet, released the following statement after the new indictment came down:

“The first indictment only contained charges through early 2007 so we expected additional charges from a grand jury. We are pleased that we were able to convince the prosecutor's office to not seek and obtain the death penalty in this new indictment. It is our hope that we can continue to work toward a resolution of this matter so that the women do not have to endure any additional trauma.”

Prosecutors have not decided if they will seek the death penalty. In the new indictment, the state retains the option of adding a death penalty specification.
